What are you currently playing?

You know what, even the 2d Sonics weren't all that good.

They were built around being cheap. A random spike falls on you, a platform falls out from under you, an obstacle you could never predict is in front of a spring you didn't know was there. Sonic games were all about dying a lot, and learning where the pitfalls were.

Mario platformers by contrast, never really felt cheap. Those were more about learning how to deal with enemy types, and exploring levels from top to bottom, but if you died you always knew it was your fault, and avoidable.

I agree regarding 2D Sonic. I was never into them as well.

I have played Sonic a few times but it was always felt loose and didn't feel good.

Mario was a super tight platformer while Sonic was always about the 'tude.

Still Dark Arisen, just redownloaded the original opening mod, and it's glorious.

Hey man @Cdtm, could you post your steam on here so I could hire your pawn?

I've been playing a lot of PS2 games lately on my PC(via an emulator). The main ones I'm playing right now are: Kingdom Hearts 2, dot hack GU vol. 1, Rogue Galaxy, and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Oh shit, Ultimate Destruction. I only own the PS3 sequel, but I've heard the PS2 version is the best.

Yep, Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of the best games ever made. 1 is good too, but I love 2 more.

Also playing Second Sight and Viewtiful Joe too.

I never played the KH games. Have started the first one multiple times but never get far.

Was playing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic on steam.

Game ran like complete shit though 🙁

I haven't had a chance to install them yet, but I recently purchased 2 games during Steam's latest sale. One was "Lichdom: Battlemage" and the other was the latest vampire videogame, this one where you play as a doctor who gets turned into a vampire called "Vampyr".

Vampyr

I remember hearing about Vampyr earlier this year when it came out. Looked interesting but didn't really hear much about it.

I played Lichdom last night, it's pretty awesome.

Though I didn't get it on gog.

Yeah, it's kinda like Borderlands, but with magic. It's pretty awesome. Whenever there is a game where it gives you a choice on the kind of character to play I always choose the mage(or the closest thing to it, like the adept in Mass Effect).

Been Playing

Red Dead 2

A.C. Odyssey

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider

NBA Live 19(Don't judge me)

Installed Vampyr so I'm gonna give it a try later tonight.

Never heard of it, what is it about?

You play a doctor in 1918 who gets turned into a vampire.

Abyss Odyssey.

Just noticed it in my Steam account. Don't even remember buying it.

It's not the successor to Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines you hope it is.
